The report was unveiled to the press by COA according to
its 2014 Annual Report Audit.

COA reported just lately on its official website that as of
December 31, 2014, the piled up worth of unliquidated fund transfer of the DILG
under Sec.Mar Roxas had reached P7.040 billion.

“The Receivables accounts accumulated to a huge amount of
P7.040 billion because management failed to monitor the liquidations of the
fund transfers and submission of the corresponding financial reports contrary
to COA Circular No. 94-013,” the COA record read.

According to the audit report it was mentioned that the
accumulations of the unaccounted fund transfer of the DILG was because of the
management’s “non-monitoring of liquidations as well as submission of financial
reports.”

The COA report stated that the funds were moved to national
government agencies (NGAs), local government units (LGUs), non-government
organizations (NGOs) and/or private organizations (POs), as well as in DILG’s
regional offices (ROs) for the intended use of several projects like the
Provision of Potable Water program (SALINTUBIG), PAyapa at MAsaganang PamayaNAn
(PAMANA), Bottom-Up Budgeting (BUB), Rehabilitation Assistance on Yolanda
(RAY), and also the Public Transport Assistance Program (PTAP).

The former head of DILG said that he won’t ever rob from
the government coffers however the COA record is in contrast to what he’s doing
if proven guilty by the Commission on Audit.
